All Minnesotans know that living in this beautiful state is not for the faint of heart. We deal with a variety of challenges on a daily basis that those spoiled west coasters could never understand. Here are the top ten reasons why people from Minnesota have some extra grit.
1. Minnesotans deal with infamous winters and a LOT of snow and ice. It's the biggest reason we are so tough. And all that snow means...
6. Minnesotans are hard workers. The Twin Cities suburbs are jam packed with Fortune 500s and MANY hard MN workers who toil away day after day so you have convenient things like post-its and Betty Crocker cake mix.
10. Lastly, we deal with a lot of stereotypes. People think this state is terrible to live in, and it toughens us up to hear their insults and let them bounce right off.
